Built in 1960 as part of the\u00a0case study houses\u00a0program, the house is considered an<\/p>\n

iconic representation of modern architecture in Los Angeles during the twentieth century.<\/p>\n

It was made famous by a\u00a0Julius Shulman\u00a0photograph showing two women leisurely<\/p>\n

sitting in a corner of the house with an eventide panoramic view of the city through floor-to-ceiling glass walls.<\/p>\n

A Sketch by Architect Pierre Koenig<\/strong><\/p>\n

Principle:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some ideas for the design of the house began to manifest over the two years of hard\u00a0weekend \u00a0labor,<\/p>\n

so Buck Stahl (owner of\u00a0the house)\u00a0made a model<\/strong> of the idea he and Carlotta (his wife)\u00a0dreamed into being.<\/p>\n

\"model\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In late 1957 the Stahl’s, after two other tries, found an ambitious and ingenious young architect named Pierre Koenig<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Pierre was the only one daring enough to consider the cantilevered foundation so breathtaking today.<\/p>\n

Opinion and Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think Stahl house really deserves to be called as\u00a0the best house in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

What I found so interesting was the incredibly basic
\nlayout, the lined glass rooms, and for sure the perfect view on top of the Hollywood Hills.<\/p>\n

There is something bigger going on than just the ideal arrangement of living, kitchen, dining, and so on.<\/p>\n

The forces that informed the design \u2013 landscape, views,\u00a0and sun pattern\u00a0\u2013 are much bigger than the day to day lifestyle.<\/p>\n

When architecture is unlocked from standard habits, a new meaning is given to life at home.<\/p>\n
